There was a time when some Churches justified apartheid policies by referring to scripture. Gregorydavid 06:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
there appears to be some vandalism that has damaged the template. Could this be fixed by someone who understands wikicode better than I do? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.221.194 (talk) 01:51, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
I think Apartheid laws – which are central to the entire topic – should top the list. Perhaps with a heading like "laws and documents " or "legislation" and then include the Tricameral Parliament and the new Constitution of South Africa etc. I don't think that Mahatma Gandhi is directly relevant to the South African apartheid.

Aren't these lists a little too broad, because essentially the entire global population would be in one half or the other. Perhaps the headings could be changed to "activists" and "protagonist"? Maybe not even list a few people, but simply link to a specific category like Category:Anti-apartheid activists? --Deon Steyn 07:12, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
The infobox is getting a bit big...time to remove some items.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Suidafrikaan (talk • contribs)
Why has the DA been left out? Only two letters required and only one member of parliament for years, they cannot be accused of overcrowding.Gregorydavid 01:20, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
I see that the overiding criteria in sorting template entries is that the end result must look good. I have added the DA seeing there was no opposition to my suggestion that the organization be added.Gregorydavid 01:57, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Other topics (notably the SADF topic) that include the contents of this box (Apartheid template) do so at the risk of making the topic lose its objectiveness. The SADF topic should contain relevant data on the organization, including its role in the apartheid era of South Africa and crimes it committed against civilian citizens of South Africa. The problem is that by having this Apartheid template on the SADF page at the location it is currently placed (top right), it skews the SADF topic and makes an implication that is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. The specific issue is the image of a public notice on the Apartheid template (which is appropriate for the template), but when the SADF topic uses the Apartheid template it completely changes the tone of the contents of the SADF topic itself. Please understand I'm not indicating that there is any issue with this Apartheid template or the image in its contents. Nor am I suggesting to alter the SADF topic in a way that would mislead readers about its role in the apartheid era of South Africa. The issue is solely the effect that the template has when placed in the location used for the SADF topic. If you look at the SANDF topic you'll notice that the box in the top right of the page has relevant information for the organization itself, and the image is relevant to the organization itself (in otherwords, it's objective based on the focus of the organization). The actual article should contain the Apartheid template, but that should put the template within the contents of any relevant disclosure about the SADF and its actions (relating it to the general topics of apartheid).

There still aren't any links to Church articles. Neither the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk or the Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk are mentioned... there are articles on both, as well as on the Belhar Confession. The DRMC and the DRCA don't have separate articles, sadly. Relata refero (talk) 21:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Under what circumstances can a contributor remove the apartheid info box? Depending on the size of the article, it can appear really large, intrusive, and irrelevant.
Alternatively, is there a way of editing the box so that only those categories relevant to the article can be retained? Thanks. DocDee (talk)
Winnie Mandela's name should be in the list of people. Thank you very much.

Please change the template's code -- except the noinclude section after its end -- to the code for the opposite, so the template has a simpler Sidebar format, larger font and more visible dots between links. No content has been added/removed. Thank you. 213.246.85.235 (talk) 09:25, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
I’d question what usefulness the old national flag of South Africa has to this template. Bear in mind that this flag predates the apartheid era and was not only associated with political legislation, but every aspect of South Africa’s fledgling national identity from 1928 to 1994. It was the flag South African athletes represented prior to the apartheid era, and the flag that South Africans served under in two world wars. A more appropriate image should be substituted, namely one of apartheid signage. --Katangais (talk) 00:32, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
